Answer:

loses, gains

Explanation:

In the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum will lose electrons while each atom of selenium will gain the electrons.

An ionic compound is an interatomic bond formed between a metal and non-metal. The metal is less electronegative compared to the non-metal. In this case, the metal will lose electrons to become positively charged whereas the non-metal, selenium will gain the electron to become negatively charged.

The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic bond.

igomit [66]

Answer:

The drawings are in the figure attached below.

Explanation:

"Constitutional isomers" is a term used in chemistry to refer to chemical compounds that have the same constitution and molecular formula distributed in a different structure. That is, the compound has the same atoms, but when built in a three-dimensional image, these atoms occupy different places within the same structure.
